Fodor's Review:

Italian chef Salvatore Corea and his wife Gina, a native New Yorker, are living their dream of opening an old-fashioned family-run restaurant here on the Upper East Side just a block away from the apartment they share with their two young daughters. It's not Corea's first New York restaurant endeavor—he's opened three other successful venues in the city (Cacio e Pepe, Spiga, and Bocca), but Alloro is his first venture with his wife, and judging by the friendly vibe and the delicious dishes coming out of Corea's cucina, it's off to a great start. Chef Corea's creative take on traditional, regional Italian cuisines leads the way for delicious dishes, like paccheri, a wide tube-shape pasta, with a white ragout of quail, porcini mushrooms, black truffles, and fresh blueberries. Both the filet mignon with the potato pie and wild mushrooms and the duck breast served with polenta cake are fantastic.
